I've done a bit of this and adjacent things in the past... any idea if they're still hiring?

Yeah, it's crazy. Hardware adjacent work is quite technically challenging, but tends to not pay well. You've gotta know hardware and software but the pay does not reflect this. Similar for embedded work.
Yup, aggressively. Drop me a line; personal email is on my profile.

Yeah, the explanation I got is that, specifically for a semiconductor company, it's so bloody expensive to tape out chips that a huge portion of the capital in the company gets allocated to that. Checks out, but it's still a little lame.
